Our threat research report The Hidden Data Economy highlights the value criminals place on data about us. However, what’s missing in this report is research on stolen medical data. That prompted questions about whether underground marketplaces exist for medical data, and if they do, what is the value of that data.

We researched these questions and presented our findings in the just published report Health Warning: Cyberattacks Are Targeting the Healthcare Industry. We were able to confirm that the healthcare sector is being targeted and that the stolen data indeed has value.
